The Daily Mirror is reporting that the Hammers could be priced out of a move for the Watford star in the summer and have turned their attention to cheaper alternatives.

West Ham suits have now targeted Marseille’s Michy Batshuayi, Manchester City’s Ivory Coast national-teamer Wilfried Bony, and Liverpool forward Christian Benteke as possible reinforcements when the transfer window reopens.

The likes of Manchester United,Arsenal and Chelsea have been credited with an interest in Odion Ighalo.

The former Udinese, Granada and Lyn Oslo man still has a valid contract with the Hornets until June 30, 2020.
